As much as I enjoyed my first Kellerman book (When the Bough Breaks), and while I thoroughly enjoy both the main character (Alex Delaware) and Kellerman’s writing style, this book was even too farfetched for me. It’s about a boy dying of cancer who desperately needs treatment, but who is taken away from the hospital by parents who are apparently cultists that do not think Western medicine has the answer for their son’s illness. Meanwhile, the plot deepens with the leader of the cult being a reformed Beverly Hills divorce lawyer, some botanists who are into growing some very weird plants, and a really looney treating oncologist. I’m going to read another Kellerman and another Delaware, but this one does not get my recommendation.
